Insecure typos

YaBB SE is very good.

One feature I do not like is how, when you try and login but enter the wrong password, it echos the password on the screen.

My password is quite secure. It is seemingly random. But many people use pets' names, memorable places, etc for their password. If just a simple typo was made (eg someone entered password as fred# and not fred, accidentally pressing # before enter), then anyone sitting nearby would know the password.

Please - "Password Incorrect" will suffice.
